All pupils take pride in belonging to one of the School's four Houses - Castle, Greyfriars, Lauriston or Raeburn - and participate enthusiastically in the Junior School House competitions that take place each session.

   There is a wide array of House competition ranging from the annual House Music event to Inter-House sporting challenges such as Swimming, from Inter-House General Knowledge to the Inter-House Fashion Show.

   On a daily basis pupils can earn points for their House by demonstrating good work, a positive attitude, cooperation, helpfulness and support of others. At the annual Junior School Prizegiving Ceremony the Inter-House Shield is awarded to the victorious Junior School House.

    More important, of course, than Inter-House competitions are the pastoral benefits to the pupils of their working together within their House groups with pupils of different ages and interests. Our House system is, in fact, an integral part of the positive ethos that exists in the Junior School.
